Natalia Kostretsova holds a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics and Mathematics from Lomonosov Moscow State University (2017) and a Master’s degree in Nanosystems and Nanomaterials from the Institute of Solid State Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2019). During this period, she developed solid expertise in the design and characterization of novel oxide materials for solid oxide cell (SOC) applications.
She joined the Nanoionics and Fuel Cells group at IREC in 2019 as a PhD student, where her research focused on advancing SOC manufacturing through functional ceramic 3D printing. She completed her PhD in Materials Science at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2024.
Currently, she continues in the group as a Tenure-Track Postdoctoral Researcher, working on the development of next-generation energy and catalytic devices enabled by additive manufacturing, with a particular interest in translating advanced materials and architectures into scalable SOC technologies.
